It Started in Budapest

Romance on the Orient Express

Written by: Julie Daines
Molly Cooper is haunted by the medical struggles of her brother. Ever since she read the novel, Dracula, she finds herself the vampire in the story- always stealing the life from her brother who deserves to happiness. She decides to take charge of the future by finding a real life vampire to help save her brother's life. Throughout the course of her adventures she finds herself as well as love. Julie Daines wrote a story of overcoming strong obstacles. Molly is no weak heroine as she works hard to change the struggles her family deals with.

This story has a beautiful setting. From the world fair in Paris to the woods in Transylvania, there is beauty in different ways supporting the story. The romance is subtle and slowly builds until the two find their way towards a happily ever after. While Percy Hunt is more of a bland character, Molly Cooper's unique personality traits show a bright contrast to him.  They fall in love as they support each other and Percy finds ways to save Molly again and again. The cover of the book is gorgeous and the read was entertaining with a Gothic feel.

Perfect Match

Perfect Match Gulf Coast Firefighters Written by: Susan Oloier This sweet romance was a pleasant read. With two characters who are looking for something more satisfying in life and struggling to find it, they relate to most of the population. As neighbors who find attraction despite everything about the situation being wrong, they push past their insecurities and eventually find their way to love. Susan Oloier created realistic characters with faults and struggles. Both of them have great personalities and the flaws enhance the story. The world they live in is comfortable and real. This story could be any of the hallmark stories just without a Christmas setting.

  Home on the Harbor Cliffside Point: Book 4 Written by: Ellen Joy The fourth book in this series has all of the characters come back with big appearances. While this may hold Harper's love story, it also holds the love story of the whole family (blood and chosen)- the love story of how these characters found each other and rely on each other. While the romance is sweet, the greater meaning comes from how these women are light to each other and can rely on each other. Reading about their struggles and will to survive makes me want to reach out to those around me so they know I have their backs and love them.  Overall- I wish I could have seen more of Harper's love story. There is so much to her back story and understanding who she is as a person that I felt a little gypped on seeing her happily ever after. To seeing the characters fall in love after they came around to enjoying each other's company. Maybe we will see more of that in the next book!

Sleep Robin Hood

Sleep Robin Hood Outlaws: Book Three Written by: M.C. Frank Sleep Robin Hood is a fantastic continuation of the Outlaws series. With action, adventure, romance, suspense, and everything in-between this story hooked me. I can't wait for the next year to pass so I can read the next installation in this retelling. The characters have such passion and feelings that go between hope, despair, and betrayal. I don't want to say too much for fear of giving something away but this series is a well-written depiction of the tale of Robin Hood.
